As an alum of Edson College, one of the best ways to stay connected with the college is by volunteering at one of our various events held throughout the year. Some of the annual events we invite alumni to volunteer at include the ASU Homecoming festivities and our Open Door event in the spring. From helping staff a first-aid tent, to helping take blood pressures at outreach activities, to serving on an alumni panel and even volunteering to be a patient for simulation, there are multiple opportunities to fit your interest.

One of the best ways you can stay connected and support the college is by volunteering your time and expertise. If you are interested in getting involved and becoming an official Edson College volunteer, please complete this form.
